### Freedom Rally on Boston Common
### CryptoParty

### Wake up the Earth Festival in JP on Sat., May 4th (http://www.spontaneouscelebrations.org/cultural-programming/festivals-and-events.html)
### Pax East which is March 22-24th. They are looking for submissions (http://panels.paxsite.com/), though they do focus on computer gaming. They don't have any tables available for non-gaming groups and are rather expensive. Perhaps we should have a party in one of the hotel rooms and hand out invites. Could have folks wearing t-shirts that say: Ask me how the Pirate Party is protecting your freedom"?
### AnimeBoston which is May 24-26th.

Qualities we need in a site for a conference:

# Good location that is easy to get to and accessible to people with disabilities
# Good access to internet and electrical outlets
# Good lighting

== Meeting Minutes ==

<nowiki>
[12:24] <@jokeefe> what did I miss?
[12:24] <@mildbeard> hey [4Q] - 4q2...
[12:25] <@srevilak> mildbeard and I were chatting about linux distros
[12:26] <@mildbeard> Yeah. We haven't seen SplendidSpoon yet.
[12:26] <@jokeefe> cool
[12:26] <@jokeefe> must be busy
[12:27] <@jokeefe> Anyone know of other events we could attend in 2013?
[12:27] <@jokeefe> guess that was on the agenda
[12:28] <@srevilak> the list at http://masspirates.org/wiki/index.php?title=December_13th,_2012_IRC_Meeting seems like a full agenda
[12:28] <@jokeefe> looks like we won't be able to be at PAXEast officially, though I guess we could rent a room Sat. night and invite people up for a party or walk around with t-shirts that say "Ask me how the Pirate Party is protecting your freedoms"
[12:29] <@jokeefe> BTW: can anyone get to http://www.securitybsides.com/w/page/12194141/BSidesBoston ?
[12:30] <@mildbeard> they're thinking of changing the date.
[12:31] <@srevilak> web site claims that conference is already sold out
[12:31] <@mildbeard> You can organize your own bsides event. There's a link.
[12:32] <@jokeefe> right, looks like sometime in may, in a bigger place
[12:33] <@jokeefe> Lets focus on the Pirate Conference. Spring & Fall?
[12:33] <@mildbeard> ok
[12:35] <@jokeefe> If we aim for 80-120 people, where can we hold it? Demo center would be too small.
[12:35] <@srevilak> spring seems okay, if there's enough time to organize (never been to a pirate conf. before)
[12:36] <@jokeefe> we could do late spring.
[12:36] <@srevilak> BCNC has meeting rooms large enough. Could also consider umass boston
[12:37] <@jokeefe> We looked at UMass Boston, but it was rather expensive.
[12:37] <@mildbeard> Lighting and sound for video are considerations.
[12:37] <@jokeefe> What is BCNC?
[12:37] <@mildbeard> What's the cost at Umass?
[12:38] <@srevilak> BCNC = Boston Chinatown Neighborhood center.
[12:38] <@srevilak> http://bcnc.net/index.php/room-rental-information.html
[12:38] <@srevilak> (no room rates on website though)
[12:39] <@srevilak> bunker hill community college?
[12:39] <@jokeefe> my notes for Umass Boston has it at $1600
[12:40] <@jokeefe> BCNC looks nice. BHCC could be good too.
[12:41] <@srevilak> http://www.bhcc.mass.edu/inside/14
[12:41] <@srevilak> I'm just rattling off places where I've been to meetings, conferences.
[12:41] <@jokeefe> Roxbury Community College is another possibility
[12:43] <@srevilak> I'll volunteer to get in touch with BHCC RCC, get rate and description of facilities
[12:44] <@jokeefe> thanks!
[12:44] <@mildbeard> I know a good place in Fram but it's probably too far out to get enough people. Maybe for a second conference in the Fall.
[12:45] <@srevilak> k. Will try to get in touch w/them in next day or so, and report when I hear back
[12:45] <@jokeefe> Sure, find out more about it. Near commuter rail?
[12:45] <@mildbeard> uh, no not really :).
[12:45] <@jokeefe> Probably we would need a 100-200 person auditorium, and assorted conference rooms. That is roughly what we had with GRP conferences.
[12:45] <@jokeefe> oh well.
[12:45] <@mildbeard> ample parking though.
[12:45] <@jokeefe> that counts too.
[12:46] <@mildbeard> I'll find out about pricing, just in case.
[12:46] <@jokeefe> thanks.
[12:47] <@jokeefe> one day?
[12:47] <@mildbeard> right
[12:47] <@mildbeard> might be cheaper in summer
[12:48] <@jokeefe> maybe, worthwhile to ask.
[12:48] <@jokeefe> we could do a fundraiser in the evening. see if bands want to play and split the proceeds?
[12:48] <@mildbeard> I really want to have a costume party fundraiser on talk like a pirate day :)
[12:49] <@srevilak> mildbeard: did not realize there was such a thing, but I see there is
[12:50] <@mildbeard> yeah, international talk like a pirate day.
[12:50] <@jokeefe> agreed, mildbeard. I think we need to find a place to have it.
[12:50] <@mildbeard> We've already gotten a lot of interest by leveraging the awesomeness of pirates.
[12:52] <@jokeefe> mildbeard, did you print out the survey?
[12:53] <@jokeefe> if not, perhaps we need to ask what events people would attend when?
[12:53] <@mildbeard> Not yet.
[12:55] <@mildbeard> Yeah we could do that on the survey.
[12:55] <@srevilak> I'll have to go into lurking mode soon.
[12:55] <@jokeefe> me too
[12:56] <@mildbeard> You want to send me an event list and I'll give you a PDF of what the letter looks like with that list on it?
[12:56] <@jokeefe> sure. if you send to the list, send it as a link
[12:56] <@mildbeard> OK np
[12:57] <@jokeefe> must say, kim.com's new megaupload could have some interesting tech
[12:57] <@mildbeard> I have a mtg at 1, have to drop as well.
[12:57] <@jokeefe> ok, lets just call it. all in favor of adjourning?
